Does it ARM

Does it ARM is a straightforward, community-driven website that answers one specific question for Mac users: does a particular app run natively on Apple's Silicon chips (M1, M2, M3, M4)? It maintains a searchable database of over 3,700 applications, each with a reported status. You can see at a glance if an app is native, requires Apple's Rosetta 2 translation layer, is in development, unsupported, or simply hasn't been reported yet.

The site works by collecting reports from its user base. Anyone can submit information about an app's compatibility, and the site's listings are updated with these community findings. This model helps keep the information practical and up-to-date as developers release new versions. The site also offers a 'Scan Apps' tool that lets users check the compatibility of applications already installed on their own Mac.

This tool is most useful for people considering a new Apple Silicon Mac or those who have recently upgraded and need to verify their essential software will work. Developers can use it to check on competitors or industry standards, and IT departments can reference it for planning fleet upgrades. It solves a real, niche problem by providing a centralized place for information that is otherwise scattered across forums and developer notes.
